Coliform level in Boracay significantly down from pre-rehabilitation count – Cimatu 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Ellalyn De Vera-RuizThe coliform level in Boracay’s waters has gone down significantly, a year after the rehabilitation of the island paradise started, according to Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu. Cimatu, who heads the Boracay Inter-Agency Task Force (BIATF), said the coliform level in Boracay waters “has significantly gone down” based on the latest water quality monitoring done by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB). He noted that the highest coliform level so far recorded was only 40 most probable number per 100 milliliters (mpn/100 ml), significantly less than the millions detected before the rehabilitation. So far, the DENR chief said 51 establishments along the White Beach already have their own sewage treatment plants (STPs) while others were already connected to the sewer line.
